King in the Wilderness

From the passage of the Voting Rights Act until his assassination, the final years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would prove his most trying--from the criticism of the civil rights movement's militant voices over his nonviolence stance, to his split with President Lyndon Johnson over his anti-Vietnam activism, to the fears for his physical safety that would be tragically borne out. An under-observed phase of a great life receives an intriguing examination here. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
